I tried the strategy that you stated above and it works likes a charm. However, I used 5 star hotels instead of 4 star hotels and went up to 225 dollars a night, no success. I will probably do 4 star hotels a few days before my trip if the 5 star bidding process doesn't work in the coming weeks. Do you think if I were to bid a week to a few days prior to the trip, I would most likely get a better deal? Thanks for the help!!!!

Great topic of discussion! This helps tremendously!

Thanks for the quick response! Thanks for the insight on the median value. Yes, I was rejected until 200 dollars for both zones. I didn't realize I could add zones without 5 star's in them after reading one of your previous posts. So its looking like the cheapest 5 star that I want is 375 dollars a night. Im not very keen on pushing up my bid price honestly. I was able to lock in a refundable hotel for 250 dollars a night with some reward points. I wish there was bidding with reward point :) Would be a great idea! If you think 200 dollars/night is too low, I can start looking into 4 star hotels. The cheapest 4 star hotel is 300 dollars a night. Im guessing I can start at 125 and go up to 175. Thoughts?

First of all, I'd like to say how awesome this website is. Thanks to whomever is running it and supporting it! So about the trip now. I am planning a trip with my GF and a friend. Where we will need two rooms. We would want the following: 5 star hotel Barcelona La Rambla Port Olympic Old Town - El Born Travelling between July 19th to July 24th Willing to pay up to 150 dollars a night per room Two rooms No specific amenities because 5 starts usually have it all :P It is June 16th now, a month prior to the trip. I have tried multiple strategies by choosing one zone, star, price (70% discount) then increase the zones. Then I would restart with a higher bid going up to 150 dollars a night (40% discount). Does this strategy work? Also when would be the best time to bid? Also is my max bidding price to low (median price for area $250)? Would it be better to split the trip up into two and possibly change hotels mid stay? Would really appreciate the help!
